THE BILL TO REGULATE THE LIBEL LAW.
The bill introduced last week by Sena-
tor GlasscOCk to amend the libel law
came up before joint committee OF the
two houses this evening. The only
change made by the committee was an
amendment to St CtiOn two Of the bill
which permits the truth of the liOelous
matter to be given in evidence and shall
constitute justification and s complete
defense. The section as amended is in
effect that no exemplary or punitory
damages can he recovered by the plain
tlf If the party publishing the libel re-
tract the same, provided the plaintiff prove
no malice in their words. 1t places
the burden of proving malice on the plain
tiff. The bill will be reported to morrow
with a majority report in the House, and
a minority report in the Senate. The
only advau tage IN the bill as now amend
ed, is that it defines the law better than
the old common law definition.
